[glen]

Not sure what question your answer of "No" is answering. But someone's clearly heard of the guy. >8^D

This is fantastic stuff, Jon. Thanks. cf https://www.slac.stanford.edu/pubs/slacpubs/5000/slac-pub-5161.pdf

"ends up with the conclusion that it takes
three bits to get the system started and that:
1 Bit is absorbed in FIAT LUX (Statement A)
1 Bit is absorbed in stating B
1 Bit left to start generating the cosmos
More bits 3 CREATOR
“The extra bits pertain to the Creator rather than to the Cosmos, and will not
be looked at ever again in this work."

In the process of continuing my work on situating theories of computation within the context of syntactic categories, I found myself down a rabbit hole leading to this thinker.

Somehow it still surprises me when I discover a Lewis Fry Richardson or Per Martin-Löf so late in life. Is A F Parker-Rhodes another of these?
